On Saturday, March 24, 2018 Canada’s premiere ukulele bluesman – the great Manitoba Hal Brolund – will be coming to London!

Manitoba Hal will conduct the workshop Learn Any Song by Ear and the workshop will be followed by a performance by the man himself that’s guaranteed to blow the roof right off the joint! If you’re somehow not yet familiar with Manitoba Hal, we encourage you to check out his website: https://www.manitobahal.com/

Or, you may register and pay in person at a Ukes of London jam. Jams are held on the second and fourth Mondays of the month. Please check the event calendar for the exact dates.

About the workshop:

Learn Any Song by Ear

This workshop teaches the basics of the Circle of Fifths and how when combined with a basic ukulele tuner the participant can learn any song that they want to play. This workshop is suitable for all levels, including beginners, because we don’t need to be able to play the songs well at this stage; we’re just learning to identify the chords we hear as they are played on a recording. Materials needed for this workshop are a chromatic tuner and a copy of the Circle of Fifths. Handouts are provided.

The Ukes of London

We’re a fun group of ukulele players in London, Ontario (Canada, eh!) who welcomes you to join our bi-weekly Monday night jams. We strum and sing all kinds of music: rock & roll, pop, country, reggae, classics, ballads… you name it, we sing it! Our vision is to grow a group of fun-loving people who would like to advance their playing technique and singing ability.

In addition to jamming, we also perform at fundraisers, festivals, and at other events. Participation in the performances is optional, but it’s a lot of fun if you do want to get involved in this aspect of the group.

**LOCATION INFORMATION**

Our jams are held on alternating Monday nights from 7-9 p.m. at Chalmers Presbyterian Church at 342 Pond Mills Road.

The exact dates of our jam sessions can be found under the Jams & Events page.

The cost to attend each jam is $5, payable at the door.

**SPECIAL EVENT – SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 2018**

**UKULELE LESSONS**

We are now providing ukulele lessons to help get anyone who is new to the ukulele up and running in no time! The lessons will take place on the same nights as the jams in a separate room from 7-8pm. You`ll then have the option of joining the main jam from 8-9pm.

The lessons are offered at no additional cost beyond the $5 per jam amount that everyone pays. If you would like to attend a lesson, please bring your own ukulele and make sure to email us in advance to let us know.
